You’ll find a roundup of Reggie’s comments below. You can find The Seattle Times’ full article here.
On whether Nintendo is now on a rebound…
“(Nintendo is) doing better this year than we did last year. The way I would frame it: Our goal is to drive an ongoing positive trajectory. Certainly with the momentum we’re seeing with our hardware, the momentum we’re seeing with our key software titles, that gives us a lot of confidence.”

Latest amiibo stock update
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News | 11 Comments
Finding amiibo through online retailers can be rather tough. Figures constantly go in and out of stock, so it can be difficult keeping track of what’s available.
So here’s the latest. Of the wave 2 amiibo, Diddy Kong is currently the only one Amazon is selling directly. None of the others are in stock at the moment.
As of this post’s publication, GameStop is selling Luigi, Zelda, and Diddy Kong. Captain Falcon and Little Mac are currently gone. It’s also worth mentioning that Shulk pre-orders are sold out again.
No Little Mac or Diddy Kong over at Toys “R” Us. You can, however, purchase Luigi and Zelda amiibo.
Best Buy is pretty much out of everything. Little Mac, Zelda, Luigi, Captain Falcon, Diddy Kong are all sold out!

Cancelled Toys “R” Us amiibo pre-orders involving PayPal or gift cards not automatically reinstated, but can be reordered
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Toys “R” Us started sending out emails yesterday about amiibo pre-orders that were accidentally cancelled due to an internal error. You likely received one of two messages. The first one states that your order (or orders) was automatically reinstated. We’re also now aware of a second that informs consumers that their pre-order couldn’t be reinstated, but the items can be re-ordered.
So what’s the difference? Toys “R” Us has explained that those who paid with PayPal or gift cards couldn’t have their orders return automatically. Still, the retailer will soon send out instructions about how they can reorder their item.
The difference is in fact due to the form of payment. If paid through PayPal or gift card it is not possible to automatically reinstate an order. However, as mentioned, all customers will receive communication with instructions on if they need to and how to reorder their item.
Toys “R” Us reinstating some cancelled amiibo pre-orders
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 4 Comments
Late last week, Toys “R” Us cancelled a slew of amiibo pre-orders. We later learned that the issues came about due to an error within the retailer’s system, and the company was working on bringing back reservations.
Emails going out today confirm that Toys “R” Us is working on reinstating pre-orders. Keep track of future updates from the retailer. Here’s hoping any figures pre-ordered that were wrongly cancelled will be successfully restored.

Toys “R” Us says Lucario amiibo pre-orders aren’t being cancelled
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 4 Comments
Toys “R” Us cancelled a truckload of amiibo pre-orders earlier today. Chances are if you had a figure reserved there, you received an email notice today that your reservation had been canned.
It appears that – at least for the Lucario amiibo – cancelled orders came about due to a “technical issue”. Joystiq reports that pre-orders for the figure will be honored.
Toys “R” Us said:
“We thank you for your patience as we work to remedy this situation and ensure our customers receive the products ordered.”
